After being stabbed in prison multiple times, sources close to Tory Lanez give an update on his condition.
TMZ reports the rapper is feeling better and has been transferred back to the California State prison hospital and has been receiving medical treatment at a medical facility in Bakersfield, CA. Lanez is in stable condition and is breathing on his own. He is also able to talk.
This news comes after it was reported that Lanez was stabbed 14 times by fellow inmate, Santino Casio and was originally in critical condition. Casio stabbed Lanez, 7 times in the back, 4 times in the torso, and 3 times in the head and face. After the horrible incident, his team said that he was placed on a breathing machine after his lungs collapsed.
His lawyer, Jose Baez, also gave an update about his client’s condition earlier this week. “Tory is upbeat. He’s in good spirits. He is recovering. He is a strong young man. He’s expected to make a recovery.”
Tory Lanez was serving a 10-year sentence after being found guilty of shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion in the foot. Santino Casio was serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole for murder, attempted murder, inflicting great bodily injury, and personal use of a dangerous or deadly weapon.
After the attack, Casio was put in restricted housing while authorities are investigating. No charges have been filed yet.
